MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING

Much Ado About Nothing (2014) |  Comedy | Braília- DF, Brasil

Role: Lead (Beatriz)

Directed by  Arthur Tadeu Curado

Written by William Shakespeare 

Much Ado About Nothing is a comedy by William Shakespeare thought to have been written in 1598 and 1599, as Shakespeare was approaching the middle of his career. The play was included in the First Folio, published in 1623.

By means of "noting" (which, in Shakespeare's day, sounded similar to "nothing" as in the play's title, and which means gossip, rumour, and overhearing), Benedict and Beatrice are tricked into confessing their love for each other, and Claudio is tricked into rejecting Hero at the altar in the erroneous belief that she has been unfaithful. At the end, Benedict and Beatrice join forces to set things right, and the others join in a dance celebrating the marriages of the two couples.
